Album of the Day

While Little Feat didn't have any Gold singles during their '70s heyday, among musicians, Lowell George and company were the gold standard for roots-oriented rock. As remarkable as their studio albums were, the consensus was that they were even better live, and one listen to WAITING FOR COLUMBUS makes that easy to believe. The double album was recorded in London and Washington, D.C. over seven nights in August 1977, and includes support from the Tower Of Power horn section. Touching on songs from all six longplayers the group released between 1971 and 1977, the dynamic performances showcase the sextet’s inimitable fusion of blues, country, jazz and New Orleans R&B on signature tracks like “Fat Man In The Bathtub,” “Oh Atlanta” and “Sailin’ Shoes.” The Platinum-certified WAITING FOR COLUMBUS stands as one of the best live albums of the rock era.
